A 23-year-old IT professional in Pune died by suicide by jumping from his office building shortly after a meeting on Monday morning.
Piyush Ashok Kavade, IT engineer, jumped from the seventh floor of his office building situated in the Hinjewadi IT Park in Pune. According to the police, the incident occurred around 10:30 am at Atlas Copco, located in Hinjewadi Phase One, where Piyush had been employed for over a year.
Piyush was reportedly attending a meeting when he suddenly complained of chest pain and excused himself. Moments later, he jumped from the seventh floor of the building, leaving everyone in shock.
A suicide note was recovered from the scene in which Piyush wrote: “I have failed everywhere in life. Forgive me.” In a message addressed to his father, he added that he felt unworthy of being his son and apologised for his actions.
Senior Police Inspector Balaji Pandre confirmed the incident and said further investigation is underway to determine the circumstances that led to the suicide.
Piyush Kavade belonged to Maharashtra's Nashik. While the note did not mention any work-related pressure or other specific reasons, the Hinjewadi police are exploring all possible angles to understand the trigger behind the extreme step.
